BC33716BU

Single Bipolar Transistors Overview

The BC33716BU is an NPN silicon epitaxial planar transistor manufactured by onsemi, designed for general-purpose switching and amplifier applications. It features a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 45 V and a continuous DC collector current of 800 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Key electrical parameters include a gain-bandwidth product (fT) of 100 MHz and a maximum DC current gain (hFE) of 630. It is housed in a lead-free TO-92-3 through-hole package with a power dissipation rating of 625 mW.

Single Bipolar Transistors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pinout orientation and packaging type. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from onsemi documentation before finalizing procurement plans.

Single Bipolar Transistors Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard NPN BJT with moderate current handling and high gain is required. Ensure the circuit design respects the 45V VCEO limit and thermal derating curves. Consider the complementary BC327 series if push-pull configurations are needed for the same application environment.

Single Bipolar Transistors Part Context

This part belongs to the BC337 family of NPN bipolar junction transistors. The '16' suffix typically denotes a specific binning range for DC current gain (hFE). These transistors are widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems due to their reliability and standardized TO-92 footprint.

Single Bipolar Transistors Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BC337-16TA or BC337-16G from onsemi, which share identical electrical characteristics but may differ in tape-and-reel packaging versus bulk. Other manufacturers offer equivalent parts such as 2N2222 variants, though pinouts and exact hFE bins must be verified.
